(Tech.) Aalto University School of Science ABSTRACT OF Degree Programme in Computer Science and Engineering MASTER’S THESIS Author: Paul Tötterman Title: Performance and Scalability of a Sensor Data Storage Framework Date: March 10, 2015 Pages: 67 Major: Software Technology Code: T-110 Supervisor: Associate Professor Keijo Heljanko Advisor: Lasse Rasinen M.Sc. (Tech.) Modern artificial intelligence and machine learning applications build on analysis and training using large datasets. New research and development does not always start with existing big datasets, but accumulate data over time. The same storage solution does not necessarily cover the scale during the lifetime of the research, especially if scaling up from using common workgroup storage technologies. The storage infrastructure at ZenRobotics has grown using standard workgroup technologies. The current approach is starting to show its limits, while the storage growth is predicted to continue and accelerate. Successful capacity planning and expansion requires a better understanding of the patterns of the use of storage and its growth. We have examined the current storage architecture and stored data from different perspectives in order to gain a better understanding of the situation. By performing a number of experiments we determine key properties of the employed technologies. The combination of these factors allows us to make informed decisions about future storage solutions.

  • Computational Scalability of Large Size Image Dissemination
    Computational Scalability of Large Size Image Dissemination Rob Kooper*a, Peter Bajcsya aNational Center for Super Computing Applications University of Illinois, 1205 W. Clark St., Urbana, IL 61801 ABSTRACT We have investigated the computational scalability of image pyramid building needed for dissemination of very large image data. The sources of large images include high resolution microscopes and telescopes, remote sensing and airborne imaging, and high resolution scanners. The term ‘large’ is understood from a user perspective which means either larger than a display size or larger than a memory/disk to hold the image data. The application drivers for our work are digitization projects such as the Lincoln Papers project (each image scan is about 100-150MB or about 5000x8000 pixels with the total number to be around 200,000) and the UIUC library scanning project for historical maps from 17th and 18th century (smaller number but larger images). The goal of our work is understand computational scalability of the web-based dissemination using image pyramids for these large image scans, as well as the preservation aspects of the data. We report our computational benchmarks for (a) building image pyramids to be disseminated using the Microsoft Seadragon library, (b) a computation execution approach using hyper-threading to generate image pyramids and to utilize the underlying hardware, and (c) an image pyramid preservation approach using various hard drive configurations of Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) drives for input/output operations. The benchmarks are obtained with a map (334.61 MB, JPEG format, 17591x15014 pixels). The discussion combines the speed and preservation objectives.

  • Of File Systems and Storage Models
    Chapter 4 Of File Systems and Storage Models Disks are always full. It is futile to try to get more disk space. Data expands to fill any void. –Parkinson’sLawasappliedto disks 4.1 Introduction This chapter deals primarily with how we store data. Virtually all computer systems require some way to store data permanently; even so-called “diskless” systems do require access to certain files in order to boot, run and be useful. Albeit stored remotely (or in memory), these bits reside on some sort of storage system. Most frequently, data is stored on local hard disks, but over the last few years more and more of our files have moved “into the cloud”, where di↵erent providers o↵er easy access to large amounts of storage over the network. We have more and more computers depending on access to remote systems, shifting our traditional view of what constitutes a storage device. 74 CHAPTER 4. OF FILE SYSTEMS AND STORAGE MODELS 75 As system administrators, we are responsible for all kinds of devices: we build systems running entirely without local storage just as we maintain the massive enterprise storage arrays that enable decentralized data replication and archival. We manage large numbers of computers with their own hard drives, using a variety of technologies to maximize throughput before the data even gets onto a network. In order to be able to optimize our systems on this level, it is important for us to understand the principal concepts of how data is stored, the di↵erent storage models and disk interfaces.Itisimportanttobeawareofcertain physical properties of our storage media, and the impact they, as well as certain historic limitations, have on how we utilize disks.

  • A Primer on Raid Levels: Standard Raid Levels Defined
    A PRIMER ON RAID LEVELS: STANDARD RAID LEVELS DEFINED RAID 0: Disk striping Description: Data is striped across one or more disks in the array. Performance: Since more writers and readers can access bits of data at the same time, performance can be improved. Upside: Performance. Downside: No redundancy. One disk failure will result in lost data. Application(s): Applications that can access data from more sources than just the RAID 0 storage array. RAID 1: Disk mirroring Description: Data is written to two or more disks. No master or primary, the disks are peers. Performance: Read operations are fast since both disks are operational data can be read from both disks at the same time. Write operations, however, are slower because every write operation is done twice. Upside: If one disk fails, the second keeps running with no interruption of data availability. Downside: Cost. Requires twice as much disk space for mirroring. Application(s): Applications that require high performance and high availability including transactional applications, email, and operating systems. RAID 3: Virtual disk blocks Description: Byte-level striping across multiple disks. An additional disk is added that calculates and stores parity information. Performance: Since every write touches multiple disks, every write slows performance. Upside: Data remains fully available if a disk fails. Downside: Performance. Application(s): Good for sequential processing applications such as video imaging. RAID 4: Dedicated parity disk Description: Block-level striping across multiple disks with a cache added to increase read and write performance. Performance: Striping blocks instead of bytes and adding a cache increases performance over RAID 3.

  • ECE590 Enterprise Storage Architecture Individual Homework #1: Drives and RAID
    ECE590 Enterprise Storage Architecture Individual Homework #1: Drives and RAID Directions: ● This assignment will be completed in INDIVIDUALLY. While you can discuss concepts with others both within and outside your group, actual steps and answers should not be shared! ● The solutions should be collected in a file called ece590-<netid>-hw1.pdf, where <netid> is your Duke NetID (sans brackets!), and submitted via Sakai. Word documents will not be accepted. 1 HDD vs. SSD performance [30pts] 1.1 HDD thought experiment You are optimizing software where the bottleneck is random I/O access to a hard disk drive. You identify two possible improvements: (a) a change to the on-disk data structure so that related data is closer together and often contiguous, or (b) a change so that each record is compressed to a smaller size, but the on-disk layout is otherwise unaffected. Without knowing any additional facts, which do you guess is worth trying first? Why? [5] 1.2 Choosing between HDD and SSD You have a workload that requires 20 TB of capacity and 200,000 IOPS of random I/O performance, mostly reads. You’re going to support it with a storage array, and are deciding between buying Samsung 860 EVO 2TB SSDs or Western Digital Black-series 6TB HDDs. (a) Research the two drives, and identify published benchmarks for IOPS performance (don’t trust manufacturer datasheets). Hint: IOmeter is a common benchmark used for this purpose, and makes a good Google term. You can assume the I/O size is 4kB. Include a link to your sources.
